Sensitizing agents
They are used in coding against alcoholism to create a so-called chemical barrier that makes it impossible to drink alcohol, and to develop in the patient a sense of fear of the possible unpleasant consequences of drinking alcohol. The most common sensitizing agent used in the treatment of alcohol dependence is teturam (Antabuse, disulfiram). The previously widely prescribed sensitizing drugs metronidazole, furazolidone, and nicotinic acid are now rarely used. Disulfiram has been used to treat alcohol dependence since the 1940s. It is assumed that the therapeutic effects of Teturam are due to the fear of Teturam Alcohol Reaction (TAR). The mechanism of action of this drug is based on blocking the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, as a result of which the oxidation of alcohol is delayed at the acetaldehyde stage. Before treatment with Teturam, the patient is warned about the possible adverse effects of drinking alcohol.
The drug Disulfiram for coding against alcohol dependence, valid for up to 1 year:
Currently, a fairly common method of treatment is intramuscular implantation of the drug Esperal, which is produced in sealed ampoules containing 10 tablets of 0.1 g of teturam. As a rule, this method is used when other therapeutic measures are unsuccessful. The patient and his relatives are explained that the drug implanted into the tissue will be constantly absorbed into the blood, and if the patient drinks even a small amount of alcohol, he will experience serious consequences, including death.
The use of Teturam has many contraindications due to the pronounced toxicity of the drug. Against the background of its use, various side effects often develop in the form of allergic reactions, toxic hepatitis, and teturama psychosis. Disulfiram may worsen symptoms of schizophrenia. A necessary condition for treatment is the patient’s good health, high motivation, and regularity of taking the drug. It should be especially noted that it is inadmissible to prescribe disulfiram without the patient’s knowledge (for example, adding it to food) due to the danger of the consequences of a teturam-alcohol reaction.
Is it possible to drink alcohol with herbal antidepressants?
Mild herbal antidepressant drugs are known to have a mild calming effect. If a specialist has prescribed a person to take a course with such drugs, then drinking alcoholic beverages in this situation is not prohibited. However, you need to drink it in small doses to avoid a hangover.
The minimum break between drinking alcohol should be 7 days.
Thus, you must carefully read the instructions for the medications prescribed by your doctor. If “Antidepressant” is indicated in the “Pharmacological group” section, this means that drinking alcohol is prohibited during the period.
Other medicines
The use of doxepin recommended by some authors when withdrawing from binge drinking is considered unacceptable due to the high risk of complications - arterial hypotension, arrhythmias and toxic delirium. The administration of phenothiazine neuroleptics (aminazine and tizercin) practiced by some doctors when withdrawing from binge drinking should be considered unacceptable, because These drugs increase the likelihood of developing delirium, seizures and have a proarrhythmic effect. It is known that after the introduction of phenothiazine antipsychotics into practice for the treatment of delirium in the 50s. mortality from it increased 4 times. The co-administration of barbiturates and tranquilizers should be avoided when withdrawing from binge drinking due to excessive sedation and the combination of β-blockers and clonidine due to the risk of developing arrhythmias. A fairly common mistake when withdrawing from binge drinking is forced diuresis. From a pathophysiological point of view, this is not justified in any way, because The cause of withdrawal syndrome is the reaction of neurotransmitter systems to a drop in the concentration of alcohol in the blood, and not ethanol metabolites circulating in the blood. Accelerated elimination of alcohol during withdrawal from binge drinking at home leads to an increased risk of developing seizures and delirium. Infusion therapy with polyionic solutions is indicated for patients with severe dehydration or persistent vomiting. In most cases, oral rehydration is sufficient for recovery from binge drinking.
Serotonergic agents
The relationship between serotonin and alcohol is complex. It is assumed that alcoholics try to use alcohol to normalize low basal levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin has been found to be involved in the reinforcing effects of alcohol. In addition, low serotonin levels contribute to impulsive behavior that leads to alcohol consumption. Abnormalities in serotonin metabolism may be accompanied by anxiety and depression, in which case alcohol may be used as a means of self-medication. Serotonergic drugs include the serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) sertraline (Zoloft), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Fevarin), citalopram. This class of drugs was developed in the 1980s to treat depressive disorders. The mechanism of action of SSRIs is to block the reuptake of serotonin by presynaptic endings, as a result of which the level of serotonin in the synaptic cleft increases.
